Industrial Free Standing Curtains

OVERVIEW

Industrial free standing curtains are supported from the floor up with base plates. Ideal when top down ceiling mounting options cannot be used or are not ideal. The 16 gauge galvanized steel hardware is designed for rugged industrial use and is quick to deploy and to take down if need be. The freestanding uprights are spaced every 8 to 10 feet allowing for complete access when the curtain is pulled back. Entry options such as strip curtains can also be added for frequent access.

Custom Made Per Application

The free-standing curtains are custom made to suit your application. You can have any width you need and up to 15′ in height. There are two components to the setup which includes the industrial curtains and the hardware. The curtains come in many different colors and several different materials based on your needs. Typically they are 18oz Reinforced Vinyl for opaque colors and 20mil Vinyl for all clear curtains. You can combine static curtains with operable side-to-side curtains and strip curtains with solid curtains.

Choose Strip or Solid Walls

Strip Curtains

Strip Curtain Hardware

In this setup solid PVC strip curtains are bolted to the frame. The strips allow people and product to move into and out of the enclosure quickly at almost any location. With this set up there is no need to pull a curtain back to allow access which will in turn increase efficiency for high traffic applications. The strips are clear for a line of sight and can easily be changed out if they get damaged or worn out.

Solid Curtains

Solid Curtain Hardware

Utilizing most of the same hardware as static hardware, the rolling curtain hardware allows for side-to-side movement of the curtain walls. These Industrial Free Standing Curtains roll on curtain hooks and can have hard corners, radius corners or no corners in case of a single sided setup. The rolling curtain track is slightly offset of the vertical uprights so that the curtain can move freely around the enclosures with no limitations.

Optional Ceilings

Ceilings Curtains

If your application requires a ceiling Akon can provide that as well. The ceilings are a 14mil or 20mil clear Vinyl that drapes over the top of the enclosure. The clear material allows light into the free-standing enclosure while containing or keeping out dust and debris. The ceilings are held up with aircraft cable (shown in red below and supplied by the customer) which spans across the top hardware and then Velcro (shown in green below) attaches to the Vinyl to the frame.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the spacing from the bottom of the track to the top of the curtain?

If for instance you input 10' for the curtain height then you will have hardware that is 10' from the floor to the top of the track. The curtain will be 3" shorter at 9' 9" to keep it just off of the floor.

What are the dimensions of the track?

Can the track be cut to size as required on site?

Yes, the track is made to be field cut on site using a hack saw or sawzall.

How much width does the radius corner add to the length?

A radius corner has a 2' radius. So if you input 10' for curtain width then you will end up with 12' when you attach the radius corner. If that is too long then simply cut the track onsite and the radius will still work.

How does the free-standing track go together?

The industrial freestanding curtain track is modular in design and will arrive in pieces that have a simple bolt together design.

How close together will the vertical track supports be?

The vertical track supports will be spaced every 8 feet. If you have a smaller freestanding industrial curtain they will of course be closer together.

Can I move the freestanding curtain around?

They can be moved around depending on the size and configuration but it is not something you're going to want to do on a regular basis. For instance if you need to move the freestanding industrial curtain every day or every hour then it is probably better to use our portable welding screens. They are primarily used for welding but can be used for many other applications as well. They are an ideal freestanding enclosure for applications where mobility is required.

How hard is it to install the industrial freestanding curtain?

It is very easy. All of the components simply fit into each other and connect with set screws. The installation is very intuitive. If you have any difficulty simply call or email us and we will walk you through the process.

Will the track rust? Can it be used in wet environments?

The track is Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) which is often used to protect steel from corrosion in some of the harshest environments imaginable, yet it provides maintenance-free longevity for decades. The corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanizing varies according to its surroundings but generally corrodes at a rate of 1/30 of bare steel in the same environment.

Testimonials

"AKON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial curtain supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The AKON industrial curtain system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from AKON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon

"The AKON wash bay curtains look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the wash bay curtains arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a wash bay curtain that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The curtains have stronger grommets and the vinyl is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
